He is the exact type of player we should be taking a cheap look at.

Hendricks had better be better than Bazley.

All you Justise Winslow fans: He signed an Exhibit 10 today. That means the number five through ten picks of the 2015 draft are out of the league. That was the draft where the Jazz drafted Trey Lyles.

Plus Okafor. So that's 7 out of the top 10 picks out of the league.

Just look first of SA-GSW..... still hard to understand why we did not go full tank last year. Victor would have make us a contender in 2-3 years.

Because full tanking would require no Lauri. It was too risky when the Jazz already had a good position with assets

Were you the only that was absolutely gaga over Bazley? Can't remember who, but someone couldn't stop posting about him.

I was excited about him as a prospect. I said he would be a good pick for the Jazz at #23 that year. Then he ended up going at #23, but the pick went to OKC after the Conley trade and Memphis moving up a couple spots for Brandon Clarke. FWIW, I also liked Keldon Johnson for the Jazz in that draft. Bazley's main problem is that his shooting never developed. The defense was fine.

That was still the Ricky Rubio/Jae Crowder era of the Jazz.

I don't care what you all say. Mike was and still is the coolest cat in the league. That's a win for me.

Everyone likes Mike. Doesn't mean it was the best move or even a good move. I like Mike and hated the trade. He was not what we needed. But man I'd love to hang with the guy.

We could have found an ''injury'' to make sure Lauri did not play a lot of games..what tanking team do actually with their best players. Overall i do think DA make some good job specially trading Don and Rudy.... but last year semi tanking strategy was a mistake for me.

I think the plan was to tank but Lauri was just too good. He legit would have had to sit out like half the season. It just wasn’t feasible unless we traded him.

Man, you doing life wrong. Sometimes there are bigger things than championships. One of them is being the flyest guy in the league. That's what's up.

Players don't just agree to that in most cases
